Not a proton user, but have seen some threads. I think it's possible to pay with Bitcoin after establishing a free account. I'd like to know if it's also possible to use LN for payments. The cost of base layer BTC transactions has been rising; and Lightning seems to be the way of the future for layer 2 payments. I would migrate to Proton if this were possible. So far I have not found any privacy-oriented email provider that accepts, or plans to accept, Lightning Network payments. The first one that does gets my business.

If you’re looking to keep your payment history out of your bank’s hands, you can use Bitcoin to pay for your Proton paid plan(new window). Bitcoin is not available as a payment method during account sign-up, though it can be used to purchase account credits once you have created your account. You can then use those credits to purchase your Proton paid plan. To purchase a Proton plan with Bitcoin.

Absolutely brilliant David. Especially industrial companies dealing with international transactions EU-CN spend an average of 0.5% in fin-costs. It is absolutely injustificável these days that this amount stays within the network (mostly SWIFT). Additionally, wiring cross-contiment is super expensive in time and must chamge (I remember when COVID hit One would need about 1 week for international EU-CN transactions to clear just for supliers to start producing goods, and goods delivered in 3 weeks, so 1/3 of time just for wiring!!!).
